When Captain Anderson of ""Storstad"" saw ""Empress of Ireland"" through the fog he thought, by seeing both ""Empress of Ireland""s port and starboard lights during its manoeuvre, that ""Empress of Ireland"" was attempting to pass on the opposite side of ""Storstad"" than previously apparent, and turned his ship to starboard to avoid a collision. However, ""Empress"" turned to port to continue on"
"Daggerboard A daggerboard is a retractable centreboard used by various sailing craft. While other types of centreboard may pivot to retract, a daggerboard slides in a casing. The shape of the daggerboard converts the forward motion into a windward lift, countering the leeward push of the sail. The theoretical centre of lateral resistance is on the trailing edge of the daggerboard. A daggerboard is a removable vertical keel that is inserted through a ""trunk"" in the center of a vessel's hull, usually amidships.

"""starboard tack"". Tack (sailing) In sailing, tack is a corner of a sail on the lower leading edge. Separately, tack describes which side of a sailing vessel the wind is coming from while under way—port or starboard. Tacking is the maneuver of turning between starboard and port tack by bringing the bow (the forward part of the boat) through the wind. Jibing is the maneuver of turning from one tack to another by bringing the stern (rear of the boat) through the wind. As a part of a sail, the tack is the lower corner of the sail's leading edge."

"Centreboard A centreboard or centerboard (US) is a retractable keel which pivots out of a slot in the hull of a sailboat, known as a ""centreboard trunk"" (UK) or ""centerboard case"" (US). The retractability allows the centreboard to be raised to operate in shallow waters, to move the centre of lateral resistance (offsetting changes to the sailplan that move the centre of effort aft), to reduce drag when the full area of the centreboard is not needed, or when removing the boat from the water, as when trailering.

"StarrBoard The StarrBoard is a stringed musical instrument invented by John D. Starrett and patented on July 23, 1985. It is a tapping instrument similar in concept to the Chapman Stick except that it is played on a stand (like a keyboard) rather than worn on the body. Another difference is that it is played with fingers parallel to the strings rather than perpendicular. The strings are spaced so that an octave span (13 strings) is the same distance as on a standard piano, 6.5"". The frets of the StarrBoard are spaced at semitone intervals, as are those on most"
"needed. A centreboard differs from a ballast keel in that centreboards do not contribute to the stability of the vessel; their purpose is to provide lateral resistance. In small sailing dinghies it is rare to find a ballasted centreboard. On larger sailing vessels, a similar design is sometimes incorporated to enable navigation into shallower water than a fixed keel would allow. In these situations the appendage is generally referred to as a ""lifting keel"" (which is usually pivoted but occasionally retracted like a daggerboard) or a ""swing keel"". In such installations on offshore vessels, the keel should ideally be lockable"

Leeboards existed in China from at least the eighth century on warships that ""held the ships, so that even when wind and wave arise in fury, they are neither driven sideways, nor overturn"".

Sandboarding can also be practised sitting down or lying on the belly or the back. It typically involves a sandboard, although it is also possible to use sleds, surfboards, a skateboard deck, or snowboards. Sandboarding has adherents throughout the world, but is most prevalent in desert areas or coastal areas with beach dunes. It is less popular than snowboarding, partly because it is"
"Freeboard (skateboard) A freeboard is a specialist skateboard designed to closely simulate the behaviour of a snowboard. Freeboards were developed to allow snowboarders to transition to skateboarding (as non-winter transport) without the need to adapt to a smaller deck and narrower wheel-base.

After releasing an ""Alpha"" series featuring kicktails and longer decks (100–112cm) than his more recent versions, Strand began retailing his freeboards under the brand name ""Freebord"" in the"

This was placed on the starboard side because the rotary engines of some early aircraft created torque which pulled the nose left, meaning an aircraft naturally yawed to port on take-off; therefore, it was desirable that they turned away from the fixed superstructure. This became the typical aircraft carrier arrangement and was used in the next British carriers, and . After World War I, battlecruisers that otherwise would have been discarded under the Washington Naval Treaty—such"
"Bilgeboard A bilgeboard is a lifting foil used in a sailboat, which resembles a cross between a centerboard and a leeboard. Bilgeboards are mounted between the centerline of the boat and the sides, and are almost always asymmetric foils mounted at an angle to maximize lateral lift while minimizing drag. They are most often found on racing scows. When sailing, the windward side bilgeboard is retracted into the hull of the boat, so that it produces no drag. The leeward side foil provides the lift to counter the lateral force of the sail, and converts it into forward motion. The"

"Standing on the keel gives the sailor additional leverage to roll the hull upright. The centerboard, daggerboard or bilgeboard can be used as a platform upon which to stand, providing increased leverage, in the event the dinghy overturns via a capsize or turtle. Because water is more dense than air, the force generated by wind against the much larger surface area of the sails can be equalized by the force of a relatively small daggerboard pushing in the water below the hull. A daggerboard fits into a trunk that runs through the hull of the rig. When the board is"
